Just curious but how many did you initially order?

Since I am in control of the manufacture I plan to order in advance before I run out.  That is assuming I don't sell all of them in less than 2 weeks as it takes longer than that to get them made and in my hands.

Well the final sign off was done last week, they are starting on production.  I should have them "hopefully" in February.  I only have one more supply to price, but they are going to be around $90.

They are currently in production and we have a tentative early date of End of February best case but ideally it will be Mid March. I will have the final pricing on these next week.

I talked to the Supplier today and the expected date is going to be the end of March.  If something changes I will post here.

well i never really got around to do anything with it. the seam down the center seams to be the only thing wrong with it but some sand paper will fix that. the other concern i have is how will the warmer weather effect the shape. i meant to do a mock-up on a truck that has the trim since mine doesnt have it. but never did that was too busy moving my trans back to fit the cummins then i kind of head butted the fork lift fork with my eye. got a small scratch on my lower eyelid i dont know how i didnt lose my eye
